Both studied Karate under a short Japanese man with a mustache. Both were given gift decisions.
Lyoto against Shogun in UFC. Shogun beat the shit out of Machida for 5 rounds. His Karate, no good.
Daniel Laruso in the All Valley Karate Championship, twice!
First against Johnny Lawrence, where he Lawrence beat the utter shit out of him for the entire fight. The Judge must have been fucking Daniel's girlfriend or something. That's probably why she left him after the tournament. I hear Cecil People's is dating a white girl.
Then, in his first title defense at the All Valley - he proceeds to get the shit kicked out of him yet again against Karate's bad boy - Mike Barnes. And once again, is given a gift decision.
So if you want to win - Don't train hard, just do katas and paint fences for old, Japanese men.

The moustache is key
Morning Bell - Mr. Miyagi drinks his piss like apple cider.
Then cries at night for some reason after thinking about some girl and the war.
Miyagi is also a compulsive gambler. He threw all that money down pressuring Daniel to break the ice block.
Wouldn't you become a compulsive gambler if your boy got so many gift decisions as an underdog?
